Nokia and Intel Partner To Create MeeGo

You know how every once in a while, there's that story that seems like it should be really important, but instead just makes you go "Oh...uh, ok?". Well, brace yourselves. This is one of those posts. Intel's Moblin platform built for mobile devices has joined forces with Nokia's Maemo platform. Maemo only runs on two Nokia devices right now, but Moblin is primed to run on significantly more. Call me cynical, but I don't see this going anywhere. If it does, I'll be the first to say so.

Guess what's after the jump!? A press release! Enjoy!

Firefox Mobile Now Available On Maemo

After plenty of talk about it, Firefox Mobile is now a reality. It's only available for Nokia's Maemo platform from the get-go, but support for other platforms is on the way. It's built to function like its big brother for the desktop all the way down to add-on availability, which is a truly stirring proposition, and I'm sorry to say, one that has never crossed my mind. Firefox Mobile is also sporting all the latest and greatest in mobile browser tech like full HTML5 support and some great platform-agnostic usability features that make Safari on the iPhone and Dolphin Browser on Android look a little clunky. Plus, with support for Weave, mobile and desktop data can by synced down to the bookmark.

Given how much time they've spent on this release, and the fact that they're still taking their time to get it right, I'm looking forward to the Android release. Meanwhile, if you're on a Nokia N900 or N810, you can head here to get your download on. Either way, head to Mozilla and check out the video for a full run-down.
